By Plenary Sessions: Peeter Tali

Direct opposition is not expressed; instead, the speaker poses a critical question to the minister, prompted by the report from State Auditor General Janar Holm. The criticism is aimed at improving the substance and procedures of the policy (the strategy review), rather than constituting a personal attack.

The criticism is aimed at specific political decisions made by the government (housing Swedish prisoners in Tartu Prison) and the financial capability of state institutions (RKIK). It utilizes rhetorical questioning to cast doubt on the benefit of the government’s actions for the Estonian people and the state. It also criticizes rhetorical acrobatics, demanding simple and clear answers.
